Helping Homes Roof

Meet Chris Heltemes: Owner and Lead Construction Expert at Helping Homes


A durable, weather-resistant home exterior is only as good as the expertise and craftsmanship behind it. As the owner and driving force behind Helping Homes, Chris Heltemes has dedicated his career to delivering top-tier exterior construction, roofing, and restoration solutions. Chris’s professional journey in the building industry spans multiple states, providing him with a uniquely broad perspective on construction methodologies, regional structural requirements, and varied architectural styles. This multi-state experience allows him to evaluate building projects with an extraordinary level of insight, ensuring that every home serviced by Helping Homes is built to withstand environmental demands while maximizing structural integrity and curb appeal.


Under Chris’s leadership, Helping Homes has established itself as a premier exterior construction and roofing contractor across Rhode Island. From full residential roof replacements and emergency leak repairs to siding replacement, gutter installations, and comprehensive insurance restoration work, Chris brings an expert, hands-on approach to every job site. His comprehensive background in construction allows him to diagnose subtle structural issues that standard contractors might overlook, ensuring that property owners receive long-lasting protection and peace of mind.


Multi-State Construction Insights and Specialized Expertise


Building practices can vary dramatically from one region to another based on climate, local codes, and material availability. Having actively worked in construction across diverse state lines, Chris Heltemes developed a deep understanding of how different building forms, framing styles, and exterior envelope systems perform over time. This unique national insight directly benefits Helping Homes’ clients, as Chris applies the most effective, battle-tested construction methods to local exterior projects.


Chris specializes primarily in exterior construction, ensuring that a home’s primary defense mechanisms, the roof, siding, trim, and drainage systems, function together seamlessly. Beyond standard residential roofing and exterior remodeling, Chris and his team regularly take on high-precision commercial projects. Among the key achievements in his recent role, Chris successfully spearheaded and executed the full redesign and remodeling of all displays within The Tile Shop. This massive undertaking showcased his versatility, project management discipline, and commitment to executing flawless, highly detailed interior and retail craft builds alongside exterior installations.


A Family-Focused Leader Driven by Integrity and Passion


For Chris Heltemes, business is personal. As the owner of Helping Homes, he views every client’s property through the lens of a family man who understands the value of home security, safety, and honest investment. Beyond his rigorous work on construction sites, Chris is profoundly dedicated to his family. He shares his life with his wife, Brook, and is a proud, devoted father to their two young children, Theodore (3.5 years old) and Attison (7 months old). His commitment to taking care of local families stems directly from the deep love and pride he holds for his own.


When Chris is not managing construction crews or inspecting exterior building envelopes, he channels his energy into two distinct dynamic passions: competitive angling and music. An avid outdoorsman, Chris competes in B.A.S.S. bass fishing tournaments, where he brings the same focus, tactical patience, and drive to the water as he does to building sites. He is also an accomplished musician, actively singing, playing the guitar, and writing original music. This creative mindset and high-energy personality allow Chris to bring an open, problem-solving perspective to every home improvement project he undertakes.
